I was back to my normal size as soon as Heidi was born. I was all baby though and didnt really gain weight anywhere else. I think you should give it a while yet hun. Dont they say give your body 9 months to recover and get back to normal?

they do say 9 months up, 9 months down. its never taken me that long and with zac i was back in them a lot quicker than with jimi but i was smaller with zac.

After I had my first LO I was back in pre pregnancy clothes almost as soon as I had her.
After Dylan I never really fitted back in to many of my clothes...mainly trousers / jeans etc (top half was ok) Then when I was preg. with Archie my legs and arse grew to gigantic proportions and when he was born I couldn't fit in to anything (again mainly jeans etc) However, I can now fit it to clothes that I haven't worn since before I had my first baby .....so I must have lost lots of weight within the past 3 / 4 months!?
I can only assume it's down to BF as, obviously, I haven't been dieting and don't excersice - apart from walking Dylan to and from pre school twice a week; which is only round the corner.
Now I really gotta start though as I don't wanna put it all back on when I stop BF I'm sure you'll get back in to them eventually - probably without even realising xxx

I was back in mine with lucas when he was 2 weeks old but i highly doubt i'll be the same when i have a second baby!

Remember with each baby ur hips expand hun, with the first baby u wont notice it much but with ur second its not always the same unfortunately!

Give urself a chance though

i was one of the 'lucky ones' i was a size 10-12 before i had lee, and the day after i had him my maternity jeans were far too big and had to get my husband to bring me my pre-pregnancy jeans but they were beig too, 3-4 months after having lee i was down to a comfortable size 8

i must say, Lee is now nearly five and i'm back to my size 10-12, it took me three years to put the weight back on, but have been this size now for the last two years (been working full time so prob cos i've been sitting on my ass for a whole of two years in an office ). My mum said it happened to her so i guess we were just lucky. we will be trying to concieve baby no.2 next year and there will be over six years gap between the two, so i dont think i will be so lucky next time

PS Lee cried a lot as a baby so i was always running about like a looney and didnt eat properly because of it , plus i was constantly sick right up till i was 25 weeks pregnant, and i mean morning noon and night, so i think all these things contributed quite a lot after the 25 week mark my stomach could handle too much food cos it was used to being empty

With my first 2 babies I was a size 12 and back in my pre pregnancy clothes within a couple of weeks. With Alice I was a size 10 but ballooned to a 16 Never managed to get back to a size 10 afterwards couldn't even get my pre preg size 12s over my fat thighs for a good 6 months

This time round I can still fit into my size 12s (ok, so I can't do the button up as my bump is huge!) so hopefully once LO is here it won't be too hard to fit into things.

Ithtink for me having a girl did something to my weight

Anyway, I'm sure you'll get back into your clothes soon enough with two small ones to run round after xxx

With my first my body just seemed to go 'ping' back into shape. Was in pre pregnancy clothes within days!
This time around my pre pregnancy clothes are a wee tight, im wearing the slightly bigger pre pregnancy clothes, but there's quite a few i cant get into yet. Lost most of the weight tho, so maybe my body has just changed shape??? hmm??
